From McPherson, the author of the Olivier Award-winning The Weir and the Tony-nominated
Shining City,
comes "a chilling new play about the sea, Ireland, and the power of myth.
It's Christmas Eve and Sharky (Morse) has returned to Dublin to look after his
irascible, aging brother (Norton) who's recently gone blind. Old drinking
buddies Ivan (Hill) and Nicky (Mahon)
are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival
of a stranger (Hinds) from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher.
In fact, Sharky may be playing for his very soul," explain press notes.
